Joined a new AI-native company this week and it’s kind of wild how different it feels already.
The laptop arrived, I logged in, and an agent basically took over from there. It set up my dev env, pulled repos, fixed dependency issues, got permissions approved, pointed me at the backlog, linked the architecture docs, and surfaced the Slack debates I actually needed to read before touching production.
When I needed context on something, I asked the agent and it found the exact thread from months ago explaining why a decision was made, who owned it, the related Linear issues, and the PRs connected to it.
I’ve only been here 3 days but it honestly feels like I’ve worked here for a year because the usual friction and scavenger hunt for context just isn’t there anymore.
We should probably stop calling this “onboarding” and rename it to “mounting” because this feels a lot more like mounting a distributed filesystem called “institutional memory” than slowly getting drip-fed context over 6 months.
Loved competing in the @perplexity_ai 2026 Pitch Competition! The tool is versatile, more than I imagined. The best part? The seamless iteration. It remembers previous fixes, cuts down on the back-and-forth. Great experience. https://t.co/xnNIM9GMHf

@leafwind 最近也在想要怎麼讓自己更主動找資訊,而不是讓資訊找上我。
刪去法:Gmail中會用標籤分類,不重要的 tag as less important,然後再一次全部刪除。
第一層POOL篩選:主動追蹤或訂閱想到收到資訊的人/網站/組織等
第二層POOL篩選:用資料夾或標籤方式歸類出不同Priority,最重要的優先看
@thecat 最近看Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier (《打造你要的人生》)。這本書寫到:
"一,情緒是對你的思考腦區(大腦皮質)發出的訊號,告訴大腦現在發生了什麼事,需要你關注和採取行動——僅此而已。二,如果你選擇用腦(思考),你可以決定如何因應這些情緒。"
The extent to which a team balances psychological safety and intellectual honesty can be mapped to four innovation cultures. Each culture will influence how well a team can innovate and the kinds of innovations they will be best at.
